WATER WORKS.

Our town authorities have de
cided to enter into an earnest and
thorough investigation OF the va.
rious town water works systems,
and forms of contract with such
companies. There will be no hasty
action aud no decision will be
formed until all plans and all APP
plications are carefully consid.
cred. There should be full cor.
respondence with other towns
who have experience. such as
Aberdeen, Columbus aud Merid-
ian, noted for wise and successful
municipal management; and with
Naichez where active steps are
being taken for similar purposes.
The decision of our authorities
is tardy; but none the less wise.
1t is arrived at after some years
Of costly experience; which has
proved TO all that a fire depart
ment without adequate provision
for water supply is a VAIN thing,
inndeed a delnsion and q snare.
The instruction which we have de-
rived on the subject is not singular.
Greenyille is only one of q null
titude of towns which have aspi.
red to the glory and station Of
owning a fire department; and
blinded by youthful exuberance
have regarded the purchase of n
fire engine as its attainment.

in this city last Sunday night by
Rev. L. E. King, the pastor. 10 3

Grst few verses Of the 34th chap.
ter Of 2d Chronicles As his text,
Mr.. King pictured in an earnest
and impressive manner the life.

slab. Showing how be, declining
to follow the example Of hIs father
in serving carved and molten i'm
ages as gods, began in early life
to seek after aud serve the true
aud living God. How in the midst
Of the multitudinOus cares of a

ting In order aud managing the
affairs Of his kingdom, be lived a

ages of false gods, and establish.
ing throughout his kingdom the
worship Of the true God. How
peace, prosperity and happiness
attended his reign, aud how he
was loved at home and honored
abroad during life, and mourned
and lamented in death.
From this and other instances
in the Bible, and many iilustrious
examples of conseerated and sue
cessful men of modern times, Mr..
King earnestly claimed that young
men could be pious in the face OF
great obstacles; that piety is con-
slsteDt with the greatest and most
prosperous business enterprises
and engagements, and the loftiest
stations of honor and renown
that II II did not always bring

sed by urging young men to seek
after and serve the true and liv
ing God in their early lite.
The sermon was listened to will
patient and respectful attention
and is said to have made a deeT
and favorable impression, whicl
it is to be hoped will ripen into
conviction in the minds of many
Of the importance and wisdom o
living pious lives. Mr.. King is I

faithful servant of God, and dc
serves to be encouraged IN BIZ

Guarantee Companies - 0meial
Bonds.

bonas.
A bilIisBow before the Alabama
which If il becomes q
law will authorize officials TO make
their bonds IN guarantee com
panies. There is one thing the
Alabama Legislature should first
find ont before they place their
bonded officials under the legal
possibility Of obtaining guarantee
bonds and that Is to see II their
places can be easily and promptly
filled. The guarantee companies
are quite particular about the hab'
its and morals Of the people they
insure.
They not only bond a man bnt
they keep themselves informed as
10 his habits. Men they yOuch
for must keep a record of their
movements aud report regularly to
headquarters.-Meridian News.
We believe that Legislation up
on this subject such as the Alaba-
ma Legislature contemplates, is
not only.proper but would prove a
relief aud benefit. AS the News
says the making of bonds Of
friends in Office ''is an aeeomoda.
ton which is not only abused, but
often leads a man into jeopardiE-
ing the welfare Of bis own family
There are further aud indeed more
serious objections to the existing
manner Of guaranteeing the pub
hc against loss through its official
agents; which would be obyiated
by properly devised aud phrased
law changing bond making TO
commercial basis. Under the ex-
isting system Of law, bond making
is In theory not only a friendly
act, but a duty common TO all
property owners. A duty which
resting on yolitIon is commonly
evaded by those most able to en-
dure its risks, aud to pay its pen.
allies; and thus becomes an IN.
due burthen to the more public
spirited, the more generous, or
the less calculating.
Perhaps the more serious objee
tion however TO depending bond
making on personal favor, is that
1t engenders improper relations.
IL creates personal obligations
which can only be met by sub
tracing, impaIpably perhaps, from
those due the public. In some
communities this has been so
abused that designing men have
extorted favors and pscuniary
emelument from those dependent
upon them for bond; and has
caused, or been one cause of, polit-
ical debcuchery.
The enforcement Of penalty
against official bondsmen is always
lax aud seldom even partially
effective. This would not be the
case with guarantee or insurance
company.
We have heard II plausibly con.
tended that public officials should
not be required to make bonds
They are agents of all citizen,
alike, in their selection and EN-
plcy each has equal option and
losses by them should be equitably
and proportionately distribute
ed. II is not improbable that il
elective officers we're not bonded
there would be more care and In
terest taken in their selection. But
II the modification Of the present
system should be subjected tc
consideration, we would prefer
the adoption Of the company
guarantee custom. We see nc
reason why IL could no. be made
operative and effective. The
plan is utilized by the railroads; 9
very conclusive argument In favor
